FACULTY POSITION IN STRUCTURAL SEISMOLOGY

The Department of Earth Sciences at the University of California,
Riverside, invites applications for a faculty position in Structural
Seismology at the Assistant Professor level, available July 1, 2015.

Research
We seek a seismologist who conducts research into the shallow
structure of the Earth. We invite applications from researchers who
focus on understanding the seismic structure of the Earth on local,
crustal and/or lithospheric scales, using techniques including but not
limited to reflection and/or refraction seismology, receiver
functions, shear-wave splitting, travel time and/or ambient noise
tomography. We are particularly interested in candidates who use these
techniques to illuminate fault structures. The successful candidate
will be expected to develop a research program complementary to our
strengths in theoretical/numerical modeling of earthquakes and fault
systems, space geodetic studies of crustal deformation, neotectonics,
observational seismology, and experimental and theoretical
investigations of rheological properties as they pertain to
earthquakes.

Teaching
A successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in
both research and teaching. Teaching responsibilities will include
undergraduate and graduate courses in or related to the area of
specialty.

Application
A Ph.D. in a relevant field and a proven ability to conduct innovative
research are required. Interested individuals should submit a cover
letter, curriculum vitae and statements of research and teaching
interests online at: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00277. The
candidate is also required to submit the details of 3-5 referees using
the APRecruit system. For additional information, please contact the
chair of the search committee, Dr. Gareth Funning:
gareth.funning at ucr.edu. Review of applications will begin January 15,
2015 and will continue until the position is filled. Salary will be
commensurate with education and experience.

Information about Earth Sciences at UCR is available at
